2010 IS THEIR 31st YEAR and features the grand re-opening of the new Haunted Castle building. Sponsored by the St. Vincent Boy Scouts who must be doing something right to have a long-running haunt like this!

From their 2003 promos:

"The Haunted Castle continues to be full of terror and is not for the weak of heart! The self-guided tour can take as long as 40 minutes, even with three 5- foot super slides speeding the way. Several new rooms have just been discovered this year in the HAUNTED CASTLE.

Deep down below the lowest level previously toured, a dungeon has been uncovered, complete with numerous means of torture, most right out of the Middle Ages. Some of the 'appliances' seem to have been used, since the dim lighting often reveals apparitions victims long ago left for dead.

For those really brave souls who want a real challenge, experience the BLACK FOREST for a tour not soon forgotten! The Super Maze gives new meaning to the terms 'Get Lost and 'Dead End,' as every turn offers a new surprise!

The Super Maze has moved to a larger area, deep inside the BLACK FOREST, and is now even darker and more confusing than ever! Also, be very careful of the Caretakers Barn, just discovered this year, and now added to your ghostly tour of the BLACK FOREST!

Enter PHARAOH'S REVENGE through a long winding tunnel, which eventually opens into the Great Pyramid itself. Hear the Pharaoh issue his secret warning, as he challenges the unsuspecting to find their way out!

For those who find all of the secret passageways, one chance remains to once again re-enter the real world, but only if the guest follows Pharaoh's secret clues to finally find the way out of the Great Pyramid!"

2005 IS THEIR 26th YEAR andIT SOUNDS AWESOME!

Their 2004 recording boasts "OVER A MILE LONG -2 HOURS FOR ALL 3 HAUNTS!"

I WAS TALKING WITH A HAUNT OPERATOR IN WESTERN MICHIGAN (2005) AND SHE SAID THIS IS AMAZING!

2007 WILL BE THEIR LAST YEAR! THE CHURCH IT'S IN WILL BE DEMOLISHED! THIS HAUNT WAS "GRANDFATHERED IN" LONG AGO, CLASSIFIED AS A PERMANENT FUN HOUSE, WHICH MEANS THEY CAN DO JUST ABOUT ANYTHING THEY WANT TO AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BOTHERSOME INSPECTORS!

THIS HAUNT TOLD ME ABOUT ANOTHER WEBSITE FOR INDIANA HAUNTS: www.hauntedindy.com

THEY STARTED THIS ONE 1N 1988, ONLY 2 YEARS AFTER THE ZIOPTIS FOUNDATION DIAL-A-TRIP WAS UNLEASHED! AND, WHAT A COINCIDENCE - I FOUND THIS ONE BY ACCIDENT SEARCHING FOR MICHIGAN HAUNTED HOUSES! AT FIRST, I FREAKED OUT â€“

WHAT??? HERE'S A REALLY COOL LOOKING HAUNT FEATURING LOCAL DRAMA STUDENTS IN ADRIAN! WAIT A SECOND...WE ALREADY HAVE ONE THAT FITS THAT DESCRIPTION - OF COURSE THAT WOULD BE THE EVER AMAZING "THE HAUNTING" IN ADRIAN, MICHIGAN! THEN, ANXIOUSLY LOOKING FOR THE DETAILS, I NOTICED IT SAID ADRIAN, MINNESOTA, NOT MICHIGAN!! BUT HOW COOL TO THINK THAT THESE 2 OPERATORS HAVE "SISTER-HOUSES" IN THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES!!

STATUS UNKNOWN FOR 2004 -NOW ANSWERED AS "THE ZOO MAN!" message left

"BLACK RAVEN MOTEL" is mentioned on recording along with ZOO MAN in 2005.

This is 2 different haunts from the same company, Full Moon Productions. We hear THESE ARE THE BEST HAUNTED HOUSES IN THE COUNTRY from some people who should know! We're hoping to go in 2004 to check it out ourselves.

From THE EDGE OF HELL 2003 promo:

Founded in 1975, The Edge of Hell began as Kansas City's oldest and best Haunted House and has molded into a national model for celebrating the Halloween season. A converted 5 story warehouse, it offers a quarter mile walk thru of sensory stimulation that ends abruptly 30 minutes later with a 5 story spiral slide into the arms of the Devil himself. This is the Granddaddy of 'em all, and with good reason.

Its' 23 scenes are elaborate and detailed and with a cast of 45 'live' performers, you are certain to have a memorable experience to say the least.

Don't miss the electrocution scene, walk across an authentic swinging rope bridge, crawl into the graveyard and run through Dracula's living room. Slide between numerous living snakes including the largest Anaconda in North American captivity.

Ascend to Heaven where you confront your sins and then it's down the 5 story spiral slide into the arms of the Devil! Can you make through Hell and back?

From THE BEAST 2003 promo:

Founded in 1991, The Beast is known throughout the industry for its' elaborate scenes and attention to detail. The Beast pioneered the "open format," where you're not in a line, you're wandering through the scenes, never knowing when an actor or an activated device will rock into action.

It takes about 40 minutes to walk through The BeastÂ â€“Â IF you don't get lost in the fog in the werewolf forest, stuck in a maze or pulled through the light in the 3 story tower. The exit is a 4 story slide, it's straight down and faster than you might find comfortable!

The werewolf forest is a full ¼ acre in size, the storm scene's thunder and lightning will make your hair stand on end, the cobblestone streets of Jack The Ripper's London will seduce you, beware the raging wolf. And don't forget the swamp with its' blood thirsty alligators!

New for 2014 at Creepyworld is St Lucifer's Hospital and Riker's Riot a Prison Escape.

They say they have the WORLD'S LARGEST PUMPKIN DISPLAY!
